In Saturday's Baltimore game the Senators did not do much hitting until the seventh inning. Then, with the score standing 10 to 2 against them, they began hitting. Three runs were scored. The slugging was continued in the next inning and seven more were batted out and the lead obtained.

Singles and doubles flew like dust. and when it was found that six earned runs had beea made on five singles and a double he was taker oug and Schmit substituted. He also fared badly for a double and a triple. It was picnic. Between the two there were seven runs on five singles, two doubles and triple. + Mulvey had two chances at the bat in this one inning, and got in a single and a triple hit. Mulvey played without error, and the first run of the game was made on ‘his long fly to the outfield. No one can rejoice more at his good work than this paper. It would have been gross mismanagement to posed. him from third base after his Friday lay, and Capt. O'Hourke is to be commended for his good sense in not being influenced by an error or two.

Mullane claims that he never pitched harder in his life. He says: “The ittsburgs could hit my underhand delivery and I couldn't get the overhand over the plate. They knew it and ‘waited me out’ every time until I ‘got in the hole,’ and then it was a base on balls or put it over. In the seventh inning I told Capt. Comiskey I couldn't get them over. I knew my weakness and it would have been good policy to put some one in my place. Another thing, I was weak after I pitched a little while. The new pitching distance makes a difference in my work and I haven't yet got up toit. When I told him I couldn't get them over some one should have been sent in to relieve me.” . Capt. Comiskey said: “The idea of black- listing him never entered our heads. We may lay him off for a time at his own expense to jet him get in condition to pitch. He claims that his poor work was due to lack of control. He certainly is old. enough and has been in the business long enough to get them over. I can't make out what Mullane meant by his poor pitching. It looked to me like a cnse of sulks, but he claims not. Anyhow, his pitching gave everybody in the team a case of the blues. After that game the club house was as gloom: as though some one in the crowd bad died. [t — out of a team to lose the way we did. ©. A. C. SPARRING CONTESTS. The Most Decisi of Any Seen in the Gym- nasium. The sparring cantests at the Columbia Athletic Club on Saturday night were the most decisive that have ever been fought there. In only one case was it necessary to give a deci- sion, all the others being either a knock out or a refusal to continue. Six good contests were fought, andthe erowd of some five hundred persons who were present thoroughly enjoyed the sport. The club experienced some trouble in securing officials, but finally Ned Donnelly was chosen as referee, Prof. North and W. T. de Saussaure, judges, and W. B. Hibbs as timer. Owing to the delayed arrival of some of the contestants it was 9 o'clock before the first bout was called. MeCall of the Warren and Oswald of the Wynne- wood in the 105-pound class opened the sport. The first two rounds were rather tame, Oswald doing most of the leading. In the third he started in to do up McCall, but the latter was much the superior, and holding the rushes de- livered some smashing blows. which so stag- gered his opponent that he was unable to tinish the round. Lindgren of the C. A.C. and Geh- ring of the Neptune met in the 145-pound class. ‘This bout was expected to be a lively one, as. Gehring is regarded as the Neptune's wonder. Lindgren started right in with his man when the gong started and , before it was half over he bad Gehring groggy and had keocked him off his p’ The Balti- morean was almost knocked out when the gong rang, and then President Montell refused to allow him to continue his fight. The victory of the C. A. C. man was a popular one. O'Neil failed to show up to meet O'Connor and Ned Cartright went on, and the two gave ‘an exhibition which was at least amusing. The contest between the heretofore unbeaten Holland of the Wynnewoods and Elliott of the Neptunes was the best, from a scientific stand- point, of the evening. ' Skill was shown by both men, and until the last round it would have been a difficult matter to have made a decision. In the third round Elliott did all the fighting and succeeded in landing rapidly with face and body blows, which gave him the decision. Hol- land was, however, much the fresher man at the finish, as Elliott was nearly exhausted. There was considerable disappointment when it was announced that Ross, who was to meet Bateman, was six pounds over weight. Bateman came on the platform and announced that he was unwilling to take any chances with one who outweighed him, when they were to have ounds, and the crowd gave their approval othe determination. johnson (unattached) of New York gave = of the Rutgers A. C.N.Y. a terrible drubbing. He had him almost at his mercy, and having floored him several times it was thought that he could not respond for the third round, but Barry showed wonderful nerve and staying qualities. His pluck was admired, but he was finished before the round was com- pleted by a savage upper cut. The last contest, between Mullen of the Warren and Flynn of Washington, was a farce. Flynn was without seience or hitting ability and was badly punished. In the third round Mullen “put him to sleep” so successfully that it was some time before he regained consciousness. ‘Capt. Mooney acted as master of ceremonies in an efficient wa; RACE. Unusual Interest in the Brooklyn Handleap to Be Run This Afternoon. Race Track, Gravesend, L. I, May 15,—Ali was bustle and activity at the course here this morning, the club officials and an army of em- ployes being busily engaged in making ready to receive the vast crowd that is expected this afternoon to witness the Brooklyn handicap. ‘The weather, always-un- certain at this time of the year in this vicinity, is simply perfect. The track, while not abso- lutely fast, is in good condition, and good time maybe expected in the big race. The track this morning was fairly alive with horees, trainers taking advantage of the beauti- ful weather to work their charges, Several of the horses entered in the Brooklyn handicap were out, but beyond a gentle canter nothing was done with them. From the best sources obtainable this morn- ing it is probable that fourteen of the fifteen horses entered in the handicap will go to the post. They are Lamplighter, with 125 pounds Uup,who will be ridden by Wilhe Sims: Banquet, 123 pounds, Garrison up: Raceland, 116 pounds, Johnny Lamley; Judge Morrow, 116 pounds, A. Covington; Mars,114 pounds, Littlefield; Russel, 112 pounds, Penn; Diablo, 112 pounds, Taral; Nomad, 110 pounds, McDermott: Leonawell, | 110 pounds. Doggett Terrifier, 108 pounds, F. ‘idelio, 103 pounds, Jimmy Lambiey: 105 pounds, C. Sionne; Pickpocket, . Taylor; lume, 9 pounds, Alonzo, from — indications, will be the absentee. Of the starters Lamplighter will certainly be made favorite by the public. ‘Al- though he has not been in an acti race this season he received a careful preparation at the Band ings of Trainer Huggings at Jobs- J. and is said to be thoroughly fit. i public trial Saturday, a mile and threc- eighths in 2.33, was not entirely satisfactory to his trainer and he was given another trial at a mile twenty minutes later. He negotiated the distance in 1:45, and the manner in which he ran was highly pleasing to his stable, The other horses have all shown fast trials, among the best being those of Judge Morrow and Leonawell. The field this year is the best, | collectively, that has ever contested for the rick stake, and @ highly exciting struggle may be looked for. At 11 o'clock this morning spectators had already begun to arrive at the track. By that time several hundred persons were present, and trains, which were arriving half hourly, were comfortably filled. Present indications are that at least 30,000 persons will be in attond- ance when the bell rings for the gr¢at race at 4 o'clock this afternoon. THE NEW ALTAIR CLUB. Making the Run From Rockville in One Hour and Twenty Minutes. ‘The members of the Altair Cycle Club have entered into the spirit of the sport with a gush of enthusiasm that is apparently unbounded. Three of the wheelmen, Messrs. David F., Chas, RB. and Louis Weaver, recently rode to Wash- ington Grove, and after an enjoyable visit “scorched” back to town, traversing the twenty | miles in one hour and twenty minutes, which, | considering the unparalleled roughness of the road# and numerous hills encountered, is com- | paratively good time. Tuesday evening the run was to Benning, and, with an attendance of eighteen members, the club made quite an attractive appearanceas they spun over the asphalt pavement in a double line from the ancient city of George- town to the Eastern branch. Lieut. David Weaver led his men over the Conduit road Thursday evening as far. as the Anglers’ Clab house. ‘The same attendance and enthusiasm noticeable on former occasions were again apparent. Ata recent meeting it was decided to impose on the officer incharge of a run the duty of setting a pace. not to exceed the average speed at which the participating wheelmen are capa- ble of propelling their silent steeds, thus avoi ing that objectionable feature of the club runs, “scorching.” Owing to Secretary Bassett's delay in reply- ing to our communication of the 29th ultimo, | xt bas been impossible to consummate the plan of making a league club of this organization. sade +o A Successrct.

Assessment Insurance Companies| ot Considered by the Attorney. STRINGENT LAWS NEEDED. Mr. Thomas Thinks That Care Should Be ‘Taken to Guard Ignorant Policy Holders— Lead or Iron Pipes for Water Connec- tions—Other Interesting Items. Attorney 8. T. Thomas this afternoon rendered an important opinion in relation to insurance companies in the District of Co- lumbia. ‘The opinion was called out by the application of the Now American Home Assurance Society of the District of Columbia for a permit to do a licensed insurance business in this District. Mr. Thomas’ opinion is in substance as follows: The statute regu- lnting insurance in this District provides that no insurance company organized or in- corporated in this District after January 26, 1887, shalb transact the insurance business unless the whole of its capital be not less than $100,000, and actually and in good faith, paid up in full in cash, except life insurance companies which issue to their members policies or certificates on the assessment plan. It is made the duty of the Commis- sioners to ascertain and determine upon evi- dence satisfactory to them to be filed in their office, whatever in tho case of assess- ment companies their certificates agree to pay benefits which are to be realized by as- sesements upon their members, and upon be- ing satisfied in this regard to issue to such companies authority to transact business. It is contended by Mr. Potter that all the Commissioners have to do under the law is to determine whether ‘The New Americam Home Assurance Society” is a mutual benefit society, “and whether ite certificates in form agreed to pay such benefits, by assessments to be levied upon its members.” ‘The law seems to be capable of this construction, and I take occasion in passing to say, this being the tirst time the ‘statute has’ heen particwiarly brought to my notice, that in view of the fact that hundreds of assess- ment insurance companies have in recent yeurs failed and refused to meet their obliga- tions; and that few, if any, of them cau con- tinue solvent so as to meet policies taken by persons in middle life or younger, the law should be amended, powers, or so as to impose upon the Commis- sioners of this District more than the perfanc- tory duty of ascertaining in the case of an as- sessment company, whether its certificate in form, agree to pay’ benefits to be realized by ‘assessments to be levied upon members. I think the Commissioners should be authorized also to pass upon the character and plan of the com- pany applying for authority to do busi- ness, and to judge whether its echemes is such @ one as would be beneficial or harmful to the public. Life insurance on the co- operative or assessment plan, based on the collection of assessments from members to pay benefits or death losses as they occur, have, in the absence of restraining laws, multiplied very rapidly in the past twenty years It very often happens that such companies ate for the most part controlled and managed by persons unfamiliar with the principles of life msurance, assumed cheapness being the attraction, As this plan of insurance is intended primarily for poorer classes, it is the duty of the state to see to it by proper restraining laws that such companies are not fraudulently conducted. One stept in this direction is to require their contract of in- surance to be piain and intelhgible. ‘The right of the insured, who is generally the party who knows least about the contract, should be vigiluntly guarded and protected, In this particular case, from a casual examination of the very lengthy “‘member- ship certificate,” a document too verbose for the mmple and cheap insurance, it seems to me that the certificate ns quoted, fails to show what are to be the benefits,” and is not om its face a binding policy or contract, “agreeing to pay benefits.” And then the ianguage, “un- less otherwise indorsed by the President of the society,” in section 8, as Tread it, contains power to destroy all benefit to the insured at any motnent at the will of the society. I notice in its certificate of incorporation that this company allows its intention to do business in the states, I see no authority for this in the law. If*The New American Home Assurance So- ciety” will reform its certificate of membership, ‘80 a to show what are to be the “benefits” and so a8 to more clearly show the agreement to pay benetit, authority should be granted to it ‘to do business and 1 60 advise you. IKON OB LEAD PIPES. Engineer Commissioner Powell has raised an important question relating to the new plumb- ing regulations. Under the old regulations house connections with the water supply were al- lowed to be made with iron pipe. The new regulations require lead pipe. The matter was brought to the attention of Capt. Powell this morning and he decided to investi- gate the matter, believing that lead pipe would probably contaminate the water which through it. Plumbing Inspector [obiasca was sent for, and gave his views on the matter. He maintained that lead pipe was vastly superior to iron pipe in several ways. In the first place it was more durable and its use would prevent the frequent teari up of the streets of the city, whic! was necessary when iron pipe was used, ‘The latter he said was short lived. After a little while it became coated with rust, and if the soil. was at all damp the rust would quickly “eat its way through. He did not believe that lead pipe was chemically affected by the Potomac water, but on the con- trary was protected, us @ lining was formed about the inside of the pipe. Prof. Richard- son, the District's chemist and inspector of asphalts and cements, substantiated what Mr. Robinson said. He had examined this question thoroughly and found that while there| were any number of wells and springs about the city whose water would affect lead pipe, the Potomac water made no difference to them. Lead pipe will still be used. NO APPROPRIATION AVAILABLE. In regard to the recommendations of Prof, Langley with respect to improving the roads to the Zoo, Capt. Fiebeger sums up the whole matter oe his indorvement a the pers, in which he says: “It appears that it Lari cost about $10,000 to change the grade from the present 9 per cent grade to an 8 Ee cent grade and macadamize the street. ‘here is no appropriation available for tho work. The present appropriation ($4,000) will only suftice to widen the street to its full width and to lay drains and waike. A further study will be made of Lanier avenue.” APPLICATIONS FOR LIQUOR LICENSES, Applications from the following persons for bar room licenses have been received by the excise board: James H. Costello, 405 10th street northwest; Mary A. Collins,3015 K street north- west; Marshall, 312 6th street northwest. THEIR SUPPORT PLEDGED. The Commissioners today received the fol- lowing letter from the Christian Endeavor Union: We, the Young alee? Society of Christian Endeavor of the District of Colum! number- ing about 5,000, in mass meeting assembled, representing ‘nearly or quite all of the evangelical churc! and — temperance jeties in the District, seeing that your honorable body and the police judges are malang an honest effort to enforce the new law with regard to the sale of intoxicating liquors and to lessen the number of saloons in certain sections of our beautiful city and that the liquor dealers as an organized body, through their attorney, called upon you, and ‘insisted upon delay in the enforcement of the same, claiming as they did that you did not have public opinion to back you in the en- forcement of the law, and making every effort to influence and dissuade youfrom the proper performance of your duty, hereby pledge you our earnest support, ‘We believe that your honorable board, as well as the judges of the court, will have ihe hearty support of all law-abiding citizens in Your efforts to perform your duty, and restrict the nefarious traitic within its legal bounds. BIDS OPENED. The Commissioners today opened bids for cast iron water pipe. The bidders were Radford Pipe and Foundry Company, M. J. Drummond, R. D. Wood & Co. and MeNeal Pipe and Foun- dry Company. The first named, the Radford Pipe and Foundry Company, submitted the following bid: three-inch pipe on ears, $27.83 per ton and £27.83 per ton on wharf; four. pipe, 225.60 on cars and £25.60 on wharf; - $29.25 on ad_six ineh, Wood & Co., three-inch pipe; $29.25 for four-inch pipe and 28 for six-inch pipe, all_on whast. McNeal Pipe and Foundry Co., $37.80 for three-inch i $36.50 on wharf: $35.30 for four- cars; $34 on wharf; $32.80 on cars for six-inch pipe and $81.50 for the samo size pipe w THE WIRE 16 REMOVED. Mg. B.C. Gill of 1108 8 street, who called the attention of the Commissioners to the un- lawfal stringing of a wire over the roof of his house, as published in Saturday’s Stan, writes to the Commissioners this morning say- ing that the publication of the matter in Taz Stan frightened the young men who strung the wire and that it has been removed. It appears to have been put up by several young men for experimental purposes. WANT TO LAY GAS MAINS. The Washington Gas Light Company has re- quested permission of the Commissioners to lay gas mains in the following streets: 26th between I and K northwest; K from 26th to bridge, and in the north sidewalk of New York avenue between 6th and 7th streets northwest, PROTEST AGAINST A LIVERY STABLE. The members of the executive board of man- agers of the Woman's Christian Association have entered a protest against the constrection of a livery stable and steam saw mill on square 276, in the rear of the association's home. ‘THE FISH IXSPECTIOX. The operations of Inspector Harris at “Fish- town” last week are shown in a report made by the inspector this morning. During the week there srrived 1,208,000 herring, 17,207 shad, 898 carp, 19 sturgeon, 16,333 bunches of fish, 253,000 clams, 500 bushels of oysters and 12,500 crabs. The condemnations during the week were 9,800 herring. 10 carp, 558 bunches of fish, 1,800 clams and. 2,900 crabs. Iu making the report Inspector Harris calls attention to the large catches of herring about this city. Last week, he states, fully 100,000 herring were caught above the Long bridge and they are now very poor, the scales on them being as light as isinglass, He. suggests the necessity for some legislation for the protection of the fish. Herring were so plentiful Inst week that ‘they sold as low as $1.50 a thousand. WORK OF THE POUNDMASTER. Last week the work of Poundmaster Einstein showed un increase in the catch over preceding weeks, There were impounded during the week 94 dogs, 3 horses, 2 cows and 1 goat. Only 14 of the animals were sold or redcemed and 87 dogs were killed. At the close of the week 24 dogs remained in the pound, THE WORK HOUSE CHARGES, Health Officer Hammett received a postal this morning bearing the éignature of Johu V. Richards, calling attention to the charges made against the management of the work house as follows: “That work house matter should be investigated by you as to the diseased hogs being sold for food and eaten by inmates; -also violation of health ordinances by hauling dead bodies through streets for medical colleges.” NO SUNDAY WORK. Capt. Powell has put his foot down on Sun- day working in the District building. For some time per diem men have received permis- sion to work Sundays and thereby make a full day's work. Recently an application was made to the Engineer Commissioner to permit an employe of his department to work on Sunday, but he disproved the application, holding that no employe should bé permitted to work on Sunday unless the exigencies of the case abso- lately required it. AGAINST A WINE HOUSE. Adelegation from the Le Droit Park Temper- ance Union composed of Messrs, M. E. Fox- well and Mra, M. E. Catlin appeared before the Commissioners this morning and urged that proceeding be instituted against the wine house on the Rock Creek Road. They stated that no license was required of the pro- Prictor becguse he raised the grapes and manu- factured his own wine. It was their belief, however, they stated that he sold other liquor, in fact it was impossible for him with the amount of grapes raised, to supply the demand made upon him.
